Accepting the award – an emotional Gina said: "Wow. Thank you god for making me an artist.

"Thank you to my entire cast. I am nothing without you," she gushed. "Thank you to my mom and my dad who tell me to dream big and never stop dreaming. Thank you to my sisters and my siblings...for being the biggest role models."

The 30-year-old said: "This award is so much more than myself," she said, getting choked up. "It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes. My father used to tell me to say every morning: ‘Today is going to be a great day. I can and I will.' Well, Dad. Today is a great day. I can and I did."
